Familiar Quotations. The Sleighride. At seven they sat as strangers sit, With half a seat between; At eight the two much closer drew, As friends they then were seen ; At nine the moon shone down upon The pair a foot apart; At ten her face with gentle Grace Was nestled next his heart. “For thee I dim these eyes and stuff this head With all such reading as was never read.” — To Miss Allard. “ His absence from his mother oft he’ll mourn, And with his eyes look wishes to return.” — Fear for Roy at Harvard. “There swims no goose so gray but soon or late She finds some honest gander for a mate.” — Consolation for Miss Fairbanks. “Restore the lock!” she cries, and all around “ Restore the lock! ” her father’s cries resound. — [Miss Hutchinson’s loss of hair. Dedi- cated to Woodward, ’00.] “Well, the links are broken, All is past ; This farewell when spoken Is the last.” “And still they gazed and still their wonder grew That one small head could carry all he [thought] he knew.” — Bingham, ’01. “’Tis the voice of a sluggard; I hear him complain, ‘You have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.’” — F. P. Lord. “ If chance a mouse creeps in her sight. She finely counterfeits a fright. So sweetly screams if it comes near It ravishes all hearts to hear.” — Miss Elizabeth Alvira Harding Sleeper. [Note. — This, however, is not strictly true, because there is one “Mouse ” of whom she is particularly fond.] A High School Idyl. There’s a thin, long-faced man. Which is Cobb, Wears the tightest pants he can. Don’t you, Cobb? Oh ! he’s lanky but he’s wise. He’s a wonder for his size. And with specs on both his e ' es. He’s a sight! Now when he gets right mad, (That is, Cobb,) It’s a sight that makes you sad. Our Cobb. Oh! he’d chill you with a look; He’s a master of the book, What he don’t know — ask the cook. Can’t they, Cobb ?
